Toronto Trades
Domi
Rielly
Vancouver Trades
JTMiller
Soucy
Any player that has a NTC or NMC will have to waive it.
Cap wise it's a complete wash so salary isn't any issue in my proposal.
Who says no.
Thoughts ?
1.) 31 Jan 2025 03:23:32
Miller won't waive to go to the leafs. Lol.
29 Jan 2025 14:06:59
Rangers Trade
RSmith*
Borgen*
Leafs Trade
Holmberg
NRobertson
Timmons
*Rangers retain 50% of both RSmith and Borgen's expiring contracts.
Thoughts ?
1.) 31 Jan 2025 05:58:01
You do know teams pay for retaining salary?
2.) 31 Jan 2025 15:32:54
No he doesn't Tury, he just thinks every other team is there to serve his team by retaining salary and accepting unbalanced trade values.
3.) 05 Feb 2025 18:16:53
Value wouldnt be fair for the Rangers even if Borgen was still a pending UFA.
Oh, they extended Borgen for 5 more years? I guess that means you should add Kampf to make this even less fair for NYR.

Toronto Trades
Marner
Vancouver Trades
JTMiller
Boeser*
*Canucks retain 50% of Boeser's expiring contract.
Of course any of the players in my proposal will have to waive any NTC or NMC to complete the transaction.
Thoughts ?
1.) 26 Jan 2025 19:31:41
Vancouver loses this. I would rather Pettersson and Hoglander for Marner Kampf and Cowan. If everyone waves.
2.) 28 Jan 2025 16:33:55
I agree they lose if they have to retain. not the rest of the NHL fault that Toronto has no clue how to pay players properly in a cap world. . but yoi also don't want to give up a guy like Bowser. maybe fit someone else in and no retain.
3.) 30 Jan 2025 18:47:46
Canucks hang up and block your number.

This seems to be a fair trade for both teams. Pinball are you OK?

Not sure why Toronto does this. Karlsson seems to have lost it, and his salary would handcuff them even more. Wait, they should do it!
4.) 23 Jan 2025 16:32:08
Fair value and gives Dubas more room to work with. Karlsson can quarterback that 1st powerplay, even though his age and cap hit are detractors he is 2 years removed from a 100 point season as a defenseman, with the right team he can get close to that again.
You did it Pinball, you made a hockey trade that mutually helps both teams and best of all the Leafs 4th line isn't the whole package going to the Penguins.
5.) 23 Jan 2025 16:50:51
- not sure why anyone trades for a distressed asset like Karlsson and his 10M contract.
- ? upvoting yourself Pinball. Embarrassing.
6.) 24 Jan 2025 00:53:27
A sideways move for both teams, I think Reilly and prospects or younger players makes more sense for Pittsburgh. having a forth line guy and a bottom pairing de is gonna propel them to the playoffs.
7.) 24 Jan 2025 16:38:59
Chickenfoot
Well some did respond in a positive way towards my proposal.
Remember this is Toronto and they need that one star Defenseman and EKarlsson brings that.
Cap wise it's pretty much a wash so it can work for both teams.
Again I don't upvote myself.

Vancouver Trades
JTMiller
Soucy*
Toronto Trades
Rielly
Minton (AHL)
VJohansson (Swe)
2nd Round Pick 2025
1st Round Pick 2026
*Canucks retain 50% of Soucy's remaining contract.
Thoughts ?
1.) 20 Jan 2025 13:21:06
Don't see Vancouver biting. Tough pill to swallow for them to have to pay a second pairing dman $7.5mill.
Maybe they bite if we retain on Rielly but we aren't in a place to do so. I imagine our targets are more along the lines of someone like Gourde who Seattle may retain on.
2.) 21 Jan 2025 11:42:03
VAN wants players who can play now, not prospects or picks that can’t help yet.
VAN doesn’t do this deal for Miller alone. Quantity never equals quality, especially in a Pinball deal.
3.) 22 Jan 2025 16:02:33
Chickenfoot,
Yes you are Rutherford saying what you posted.
Oh Rielly and Minton today are both NHLers not Prospects or Picks, but hey a 1st and 2nd Rounders aren't important either in a Chicken World.
4.) 23 Jan 2025 16:56:53
Why so thin-skinned Pinball? Why the insults? Why upvote yourself so often?
Your trades are pretty much universally panned, yet you always have the most upvotes? Kinda funny don’t you think? (That first sentence doesn’t make any sense btw…not sure what you’re trying to say. )

This isn't a trade post.
I just wanted to say RIP for Johnny Gaudreau and prayers for his family after his tragic death.
Very sad day for everyone who loves the game of hockey.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 18:26:22
A horrible tragedy. RIP to the Gaudreau brothers, Johnny and Matthew.

New Jersey Trades
Mercer
Nemec
10th Overall Pick 2024
2nd Round Pick 2025
Toronto Trades
Marner*
Liljegren
*Marner would have to both waive his NMC and do a sign and trade otherwise Marner and NJ say no.
IF Marner agrees to a trade and signing long term with NJ and The Leafs willing to make this bold move, it will definitely change things for both teams.
Mercer is no Marner but a solid Winger, Liljegren is no Nemec either and that's the improvement for Toronto, I see NJ pursuing Guentzel and should have just enough to sign him and have a full roster imo.
Thoughts ?

Montreal wants Marner this should be the asking price if Marner agrees to going to Montreal.

Not even sure why I am responding to this. bur Pinball, maybe this is why you get so much negative backlash on this site. This is horrible. I might be bias, but this is one of the more rediculous trades I've seen from you.
28 Feb 2023 21:35:48
What a Leaf Day so far.
Leafs Going
Sandin (Washington)
Engvall (NYIslanders)
3rd Round Pick (Vancouver)
Leafs Incoming
Gustafsson (Washington)
LSchenn (Vancouver)
1st Round Pick 2023 (Boston's Pick)
3rd Round Pick 2024 (NYIslanders)
All I can say is my thorn on here Chickenfoot, didn't I say Dubas was going to do big things ?
More to come by THE GENIUS Dubas.
1.) 01 Mar 2023 12:47:53
In 2 weeks he has brought in O’Rielly, McCabe, Acciari, Lafferty, Schenn, Gustafsson and recovered a 1st rounder…. lost only Sandin, Engvall and Joey Anderson off the NHL roster, has chicago paying 50% of McCabe for 2 more seasons AND actually gained cap space over that period.
I honestly don’t know anyone else that would have or could have done that. If they don’t extend him, where do you go looking for a replacement GM that’s an upgrade? I wouldn’t wanna be the guy who has to find it. And if you don’t keep Dubas around, does Brandon Pridham, their cap expert, stay? Or does he go with Dubas?
I think it’ll be a big mistake to not extend Dubas regardless of what happens in the first round. He’s done his job at an elite level. It’s up to the players to do theirs now.

Toronto Trades
WNylander
NRobertson
Liljegren
Dermott
Hirvonen (SML)
1st Round Pick 2022
2nd Round Pick 2023
Vancouver Trades
JTMiller
Garland
LSchenn
Hunt
Both Toronto and Vancouver basically said respectfully that WNylander and/or JTMiller wouldn't be traded from their respected teams, and I know it probably won't happen, but if both Teams would be willing I believe this would be great trade for both Teams imo, plus it would be the biggest deadline trade in NHL history.

Number 2 if you breakdown the proposal it's Rielly and a 2nd Rounder for Miller, and Minton and Reaves for Soucy and a 5th Rounder which imo is about right.
As for being over the cap it won't be by a lot and another move of course would have to happen.

This can only happen if Matthews is injured enough to go on LTIR for the regular season, in the playoffs there is no Cap.
That's how it fits.
